Why Good UX Talent Doesn't Get Hired

Thursday, June 15, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.  CST

 In this talk, we will touch on:

1. The current state of the UX job market
2. How the layoffs have affected the demand for specific UX skills
3. Deconstruct the early stage application screening process used to evaluate UX talent

The outcome of this talk is for everyone to gain key actionable insights to be significantly more hire-able during a down-market. Senior researchers and designers with 5+ years of experience will find the most value but early career UXers may leverage some of the same strategies and techniques."
